Groove Tubes founder Aspen Pittman and bassist Steve Fishman have collaborated to develop the Power Pick ($12.95 retail for "Power Pick" apparatus and one Fender medium pick) which is said to add 20 times more mass to your favorite plectrum and increase string volume by 5dB. And, yeah, this patent-applied-for attachment is one weird little ditty. But, like most of Pittman's mad ideas, it works. Although, at first, the handle looks like it might be an impediment to your technique, it actually fits quite gracefully inside your palm. After making a 15-degree adjustment to the position of the Power Pick's wire neck, I could hold and control the device very naturally.
